🌹 Smith a Copper Rose — A Valentine That Lasts Forever

Join us for a hands-on metalsmithing workshop where you’ll create a beautiful copper rose from start to finish—a timeless gift for a loved one or a meaningful keepsake for yourself.

This beginner-friendly class introduces the fundamentals of metalworking in a relaxed, creative environment. Guided by an experienced instructor, you’ll learn to shape, texture, and finish metal while crafting a rose that will never wilt.

In this workshop, you’ll:

  • Cut and shape flower petals using shears and snips

  • Add unique texture with hammers and forming tools

  • Twist multiple wires together to create a sturdy stem

  • Apply patina to give your rose its final character

  • Leave with a handcrafted copper rose to treasure or gift

No prior experience is necessary—just bring your creativity. All tools and materials are provided.

Please wear natural fibers, close-toed shoes, full length pants, and have any long hair pulled back. If you would like to bring your own safety glasses you may; otherwise, we will have extras here.

*Age 16+ (under 18 MUST be accompanied by a guardian)
